JAY CRAVEN’S 60’s FILM DRAMA TO PLAY AT LAEMMLE’S FAIRFAX CINEMAS, LOS ANGELES

Independent filmmaker Jay Craven’s new award-winning film, “The Year That Trembled,” (TYTT) will open an exclusive run Friday, September 12th at the Laemmle Fairfax Cinemas, 7907 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles. The opening marks the film’s West Coast premiere. Daily showtimes are at 1:45, 4:30, 7:15, and 10pm. Special opening weekend appearances, including post-film Q & A by the film’s actors, director and producers, Tyler Davidson and Scott Lax, will be held at the 7:15pm shows, Friday, September 12th and Saturday September 13th. Regular admission prices will apply. Theater information is available by calling 323-655-4010.

Based on the screenplay by Craven, from the novel by Scott Lax, “The Year That Trembled” is a 1970 coming-of-age story, set on the American “homefront” during the Vietnam War. Three teenagers, fresh out of high school and fearful of the impending draft lottery, experience a year that transforms their lives. They find themselves caught up in the anti-war upheaval at Kent State following a guerilla theater action. Later, they meet a young college activist who takes refuge at their summer farmhouse, hoping to sidestep an FBI investigation triggered by the Kent shootings. Next door, a young couple also struggle over war-related complications. She loses her high school teaching job. He launches a civil suit on behalf of the Kent State victims and struggles to decide about military service as he tries to follow in the footsteps of Bobby Kennedy. Confronted by the challenges of the War and the complexities of the counter-culture, no one emerges unscathed. Choices are made; emotional boundaries are transgressed; and innocence is lost.

The LA run continues the film’s theatrical release to more than one hundred venues nationwide. Critics call The Year That Trembled: “memorable” (Boston Herald); “intimate, subtly riveting, and richly reminiscent.” (Portland Press Herald); “intuitive and inspired (Boston Phoenix); “personal and powerful” (Times Argus); “smart and sensitive” (Atlanta Journal Constitution); “remarkably authentic (Box Office); and “touching and intelligent (Ain’t It Cool News).

The Ithaca Times calls TYTT “the first important movie of the year” and Cleveland Plain Dealer writes that the film’s, “lush cinematography and stellar performances perfectly capture the zeitgeist of this troubled time.” Film Threat’s Rick Kisonak describes TYTT as “chilling and edgy…with an impressive ensemble cast, just as capable of making us think and feel as they are of making us laugh.”

Million-selling historian Howard Zinn (People’s History of the United States) calls TYTT “an unusual film that gets people thinking.” Jimmy Carter’s White House Communications Director Gerald Rafshoon says there’s “not a single false note.” Academy Award-winning director Peter Davis (Hearts and Minds”) adds that TYTT, “gets it just right.”

The film includes 120 clips of period stock footage and seventeen songs from the era, including cuts from Country Joe and the Fish, The Grateful Dead, Paul Pena, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Shugie Otis, and JJ Cale,

Producers Tyler Davidson and Scott Lax created Novel City Pictures in 1998 and mounted the film in their native Cleveland area, using independent private financing. The film premiered at The 2002 Cleveland International Film Festival where they were awarded “Filmmakers of the Year” honors for their achievement.

Jay Craven directs Kingdom County Productions in Peacham, Vermont and is the recipient of The Producer’s Guild of America’s 1995 NOVA award for Most Promising New Film Producer of the Year. His previous films include “Where the Rivers Flow North” (starring Rip Torn, Tantoo Cardinal and Michael J. Fox) and “A Stranger in the Kingdom” (starring Ernie Hudson, Martin Sheen, David Lansbury). His projects in development include "Disappearances," a Vermont whiskey-running adventure set during Prohibition, to star Kris Kristofferson.
